We begin with some sad news today. Phil Remington, fabricator, designer and engineer, died on Friday, at the age of 92. Remington's career spanned almost every generation of American motorsports, from dry lake beds to Lance Reventlow's grand prix programs to Carroll Shelby's GT40 Le Mans efforts.

In the last half of his life, Remington worked with Dan Gurney's All American Racers, designing building and fixing parts up until a month before he died.

Most of the drivers were without international driver's licenses, and the Spanish 5-0 said that they could not continue their drive. They were eventually let go, and a Mercedes spokeman was quoted as saying, “No fines or impound fees were paid, no charges were brought and no bribes were given.”

Over to Formula One, where CEO Bernie Ecclestone said that he is not subject to U.S. laws in a formal affidavit he submitted to New York State Supreme Court. The document responds to a $650 million lawsuit filed against him by Bluewaters, an American private equity firm.

Bluewaters claimed it offered 1 billion dollars to buy a stake in the sport before Ecclestone had the stock undervalued and sold it to CVC. We'll bring you more on this story as it develops.
